Ive been on this forum for a while and this Forum is starting to change. For me it's not for the best. Seems every thread wound up being a I hate Melo thread. It's getting worst every day. I started looking at other forums and view what they post. I don't post there. I have tickets for 2 more games this season and I plan to enjoy myself. I don't mind a good debate about the Knicks but when sickos post crazy things over and over about one player. And go to other threads and do the same thing and no one is doing anything about it I start to question the motives of the forum. Maybe I don't belong here because the hate goes beyond the game of basketball. Over and over again and again. We now have a new poster well not new but all of a sudden here he is back again being a poster boy for you know who. This personal hate of Melo needs to be address. I think everyone knows what I'm talking about. I come here for enjoyment but lately every damn thread wounds up being about how much they hate Melo. Melo will be the face of the Knicks for a long long time. I notice that some of the fair minded posters are posting less. Maybe it's time to move on and let them others take over the forum. Maybe! only time will tell.

We've only got another 2 months of it to put up with- the Melo either gets traded or re-signs with us long term (at which point I think the melo haters will quit the boards)

I don't have a problem with people critiquing Melo, but I get a bit bored when it's the same point over and over and over again- it's like being stuck in a rut. At some point you have to accept you've made your case, and move on to another subject

i for one won't stick around if he is resigned to such a high salary that it leaves the knicks no chance to acquire players who will put him in his place. believe it or not melo will be a good player at the right price, which is around 12-13 million per year. but every dollar above 13 million makes him worse and worse. it's always a balance of price versus value. he didn't understand that and of course he had the perfect accomplice in dolan.

that's why phil jackson being here is so important, assuming he has complete autonomy. he is a smart and persuasive man and he has 13 reasons for people to back that up.

sorry if critiquing a player is boring but you see his game has not evolved in areas that are required to win, and his arrival created so much turmoil that the knicks could never get the right players in place to achieve anything substantial.

Didn't you say you were leaving over at realgm if the melo trade went through? My understanding was you stayed until they didn't allow you to be post there any longer.

yeah my love for the knicks outstrips my hatred for carmelo anthony. the good folks at realgm don't understand such nuances-- do you? as i said-- the reason i no longer posted there was because a global mod-- a gaulieiter with a username of "moocow"-- didn't take kindly to the suggestion that he remove carmelo anthony's nuts from his mouth. so it was personal not philosophical. besides that he was one of the most ignorant basketball posters i have ever encountered in a position of authority. everything he said was wrong. everything he predicted was wrong. you can look it up. he was quite stupid really. he occupied that dangerous territory of middling intellect and power, probably around 118-124 IQ i reckon.

my iq is a good deal higher.

anyhoo some people around here like the taste of melo's nuts. i am pretty sure you are not one of them so what is your problem with what i post?

You got kicked off because your a troll. You and your compadre both

really? lester posts here?

klint is who on here?

PresIke wrote:papabear, it isn't just here.

on the escape from elba/old ny times forum, where i know you used to post, there are a few obsessive melo critics as well.

one poster there has been calling him a "pig" for at least 3 years.

i think it's really a small contingent of fans that really don't like him.

if we took a poll here asking if you want melo on the team or not i'd suspect it would be overwhelmingly in the 'rather have him on the team' category.

IQ is like education... When you need to remind people of yours it's because it doesn't show.

You got kicked off because your a troll. You and your compadre both

well of course you are wrong again sunny jim-- but hey see if you prefer cozying up to your spiritual brethren moocow and godshamgod on realgm knicks they have nice big couches.

here's a thought experiment: if it is true that i am a troll then why have i not been banned from this forum? are you saying that martin and andrew do not know what they are doing? if they disagree with you-- and apparently they do-- does this mean they are liars or stupid?

seems like everyone you disagree with is a lowlife and a moron.

Someone brought up the names Andrew and Martin. Yes this is their forum and I respect that. but I have a right to disagree how things are sometimes ran on this forum and they have a right to tell me where to go. This was the only forum I put my faith and respect in. Now I started going to other forums. I haven't posted on the real gm in years. But I'm back because I have that right. Just as Martin and Andrew have the right to run their forum the way they see fit. No way will I put up with every thread the hate Melo thing. I now will just go elsewhere on other thread. Here I already have one foot out the door. And not with anger, but with the right to go where I want to in order to get satisfaction, enjoyment, and fun debates.

You couldn't be further off. Thse are the only active Melo threads I see:
-Move A has to be re-signing Melo (Briggs thread)
-This thread here about never criticizing Melo
-The "For all the people who love Melo" thread (Fitzfarm)
and
-The "Have to keep Melo" thread (Briggs)

On a side note. Have you noticed how efficient Cole is?

Bonn you don't get it. I don't know why I'm wasting my time with you about this. It don't have to have Melo's name on the opening part of the thread. The thread can read World Peace having fun and it will wound up with a hate Melo part of it. Look I don't care anymore you can have 100 threads about Melo. If the leaders don't care why should I. But I will tell you one thing. The forum just ain't the same anymore and way before we had haters and lovers and the debate was on and good debates. Now I see other moderate posters who use to post here but are now gone. I ran into some on other forums. Look I have the most respect for Martin and Andrew and I've been here for a while. Things just changed and I personally have a problem with it. But who am I? At least on the other forum I don't have to deal with certain posters.You can be a hater but damn don't be a sicko and say things that will make you look like a ra????. Ignore don't totally remove the person from the thread.
You must have laws to go by to keep posters from straying and say sicko things that is not true.
